Good grief. Chloe hardly deserves Teddy/i surrendering "for her".
I'd really have liked to see Teddy/i wreck that thing so they'd have been forced to talk - even if that would've started with Teddy/i cussing out Chloe.

Given Uberteds comment about killing and remaking Ilsa into a subservient to him (implying they're drunk on power and have every intention to use it as they please); do you really think UberTeds would have given Chloe the time of day to hash things out if they broke free of that collar?

Bets that Slash-Stab will try to snatch the key to the collar and/or make an uncomfortable comment about enjoying the pain on the next page?

Ted might have succeeded in taking the sparkle out of Ilsa’s eyes had he been uninterrupted. She didn’t appear to be enjoying being unmade by divine will. I don’t think that is anyone’s kink, not even a sex demons.

But, I suspect now that he’s been collared it won’t take long for Ilsa to compose herself.

And there’s *still* the lingering question: Exactly what is the ace Ilsa is keeping tucked up her sleeve in the form of Abby’s fine print? And why did she feel she might need one? Did she foresee trouble brewing? Is that why she didn’t seem surprised or alarmed when Ted transformed into a god right in front of her?

Wonder if Chloe inadvertently scrambled Deity-Teddy's mind? Its final pose seem more akin to a trained animal, rather than a submitting servant. Its unemotional expression in the final panels, as well as Chloe's sadness, also seem to emphasise a lack of any sentient thought remaining, or at the very least unable to rise to the surface.

Then again, their state of mind in retrospect seemed to degrade pretty quickly: from a sort of righteous fury to an overwhelming God complex (the line about creating a new Slash-Stab "more compliant with [their] divine will" feels like it skipped a couple steps of conversation at the least), and once the collar went on their cries of resistance and struggling feel more animalistic.

Sorry for what, Chloe? The fact that ever since you've come into his life things have gotten even more uncomfortable for him than before? That the contract he unwittingly signed has made you want to sleep with him and tear him apart while doing so if he has sexual contact with another woman in a man's body? That your presence on Earth led to Pandora arriving and deciding to crash at his place, with all the chaos and bad taste plotting that followed in her wake? That your chronic inability to communicate with Teddi (and likewise his to communicate with you to be fair) has led to some of the most unintentionally sleazy material I've ever seen in a webcomic (that had anything close to good production values) because of badly-used succubus pheromones? That only now are you and he in a position to talk things out, yet he's still going off on a tear trying to do things his way and not listening to you, because at this stage you're a bit part in your own comic? You'll have to be more specific.

I think it's possible that the collar tamped Teddy down enough to actually listen to Chloe and back off. It's also possible that Teddy hasn't reached full power yet and he will soon be able to override the collar should he decide to do so or if Ilsa gets control of the key.
I assume that Chloe's apology to Teddy is for the condition that he now find himself, his Hermaphrodite body suspended between Good and Evil. A long way from the quiet, geeky boy we first met. Clearly, this isn't entirely her fault but she played no small part in it and none of it would have happened if Teddy hadn't encountered the evil idol in the museum that was linked to Chloe. She's apologizing for the part she played in his life, including the terrible harm to Abbey.
